Amana's Governance Board will convene for the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on November 14 from 9:30 AM-11:00 AM. All meetings of the Amana Board are posted to our website calendar and open to the public unless designated as "executive session" where, by law, the Board must convene in private to discuss land, legal or personnel items.

| GRADE-LEVEL COMPETITION: 3rd GRADE LEADS THE WAY! |
3rd Grade has taken a commanding lead in the Annual Fund grade-level competition. They are currently at 16% parent participation. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has already made their commitment to this important fund.
 Here are the class rankings:
Kindergarten - 4%
1st Grade - 10% 2nd Grade - 5% 3rd Grade - 16% 4th Grade - 4% 5th Grade - 2% 6th Grade - 4% 7th Grade - 0% 8th Grade - 3%
Remember, the grade-level with the highest percentage of parent participation at the end of the semester will receive a free out-of uniform day. And every student whose family donates will be entered in a weekly drawing to be Principal for the Day. We're aiming for 100% participation among our Board, Staff and Families. Right now the Board is at 100%, our staff is at 14%, and our parent community is at 5% participation. You can donate online through our secure fundraising page, or you can send your donation in to the school in the form of cash or a check made payable to Amana Academy. Make your gift go further by participating in your company's matching gift program. Not sure if your company matches charitable donations? Visit our Double the Donation page to see if they offer an employee matching gift program.
